The 15.6-inch Acer Chromebook CB3-532-C47C is a bestselling refurbished chromebook that has received positive reviews for its excellent battery life, large 15.6-inch display, for the positive customer experience most received when dealing with Acer, and its decent performance for the basics, such as web browsing, video watching and word processing. However, some were disappointed that the screen was only 720p, and others thought that it is slightly slow when handling hardware hogging applications. Some also pointed out that the 2GB of RAM is fairly limiting. The Acer Chromebook is great for the price and is well suited to student needs, but it is a pity the screen is not FHD.
Pros

Bottom Line

The Acer Chromebook 15 isn't the prettiest chromebook out there, but a 15-inch screen and 15+ hours of battery life for a mere $200 is a tough deal to beat.
